First Coleman back downhill 

Thank you. Eager to share anything from noob standpoint and agree this community is awesome. Haha…yeah, cool how the right YT community brings out the best in us. Really enjoying YT more now than ever.

Thank you. 🤘

Thank you and greatly appreciated. So fun 🤩

Thank you. 🙇🏻‍♂️ It’s a great start.

Nice of you volunteering time to help others-which is most important and thanks. You should check out @downhill254 vids and site; he goes to incredible detail to include outlines, etc. I just started re-watching his videos and they make a lot more sense now since I have a little more experience. There are a lot of concepts that are hard to grasp-that seem simple for more experienced downhill skaters, but they didn’t start making sense until I increased practice sessions.

Thank you. 🤩🤘

Thank you. Truthfully, i don’t know how to feel when the wheels will break, but definitely understand not forcing a move/slide. I’ve seen speed checks, but, again, have no basis of how to do it. Any input or method would be awesome. 🤘

Thanks. Whoa-that is some crazy allergic skin reaction? Would never have thought of that. Sucks you got hurt, but glad you’re getting back to where you were. Now you got me more scared on toe sides - 😳 - nah, just kidding…but when I do start, I’ll be wearing full helmet and chest/back protector. I’m more of a homeopathic person, and minimize any meds, however currently on inhaler/albuterol for asthma/lung scarring from desert shield/storm when I was 21 - exposed to vaporized benzene/petroleum from burning oil wells in Kuwait. Any additional info/suggestions getting started, your recovery steps back into toe side, etc. would be welcome. Thanks for an informative comment and watching. 🙇🏻‍♂️

@@cantskate5535 This happened once before and I ended up writing it again to see if there was an error in RU-vid's comment system. After getting injured, I only rehabilitated by stretching and walking for about two months and started running little by little. After that, I really wanted to ride a board, so I bought an LDP board and did long-distance pushing. When the third month came, I carefully headed up the hill again, and of course changed my stance from regular to goofy. From then on, I proceeded step by step in the same way as when I first learned sliding. It was frustrating because my body didn't follow what I knew in my head, but I was so happy just to be able to ride a board again, so I was able to recover to this point now. I finally switched to the shorter, smaller board I was looking forward to a while ago (I bought it 2 years ago when I got injured and had to start over from scratch, so I couldn't ride it and just drooled) and I'm feeling great. The next step is toeside glove down, right? I'll leave a few links to some relatively recently uploaded tutorial videos that I thought were pretty well made. You may have already seen it, but I hope it helps you grow (please keep in mind that the second one is a goofy stance). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FGxXMSpYeOA.htmlsi=XO5AjbwYcF0ordwC ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ox52KaxsCio.htmlsi=89dcDy8wBarlB_Rl

Thank you. Now that I feel a little bit of a clue on stand up-yes, will slowly work on that.

Thank you and much appreciated. Looking downhill is definitely going to be challenging, but if I wipe out-I have all my gear-may wear full helmet and chest/back protector just in case.

Thanks, and likewise congrats on toe side. 🤘 If you have any pointers-i’d appreciate it-it’s on my to do list. Plus 2 years is cool. 😆 Age is just number.

Thank you. So stoked. Thanks for watching. 🤘

Congratulations on everything thus far! You're awesome!

Nice new gear! Seismic has a 30 degree baseplate option too. It's nice to be able to have a low angle rear truck without needing to mod anything (baseplate-swap or dewedging). The 30 degree baseplate even comes with harder bushings to help compensate for the higher leverage due to the lower angle. I have tried these Aeons in their 180mm original version (quite a few years ago already). They were a friend's, and he had it as a 45/30 setup. The short version of my verdict is, I don't really like them. The long version is, they didn't allow me to lean enough for my style of riding. However, those ones I tried were on the original formula of bushings. I believe they are not as good as the current version of bushings, which are Defcon formula bushings (a very good bushing formula - arguably one of the best for downhill). They may perform better with the new bushings, I don't know. I'll wait for your review of them. If you do end up liking them a lot, you can purchase 2 additional 30-degree ones, which will allow you to set up 2 boards as 45/30. The only drawback of Aeons is their use of proprietary bushings, which, now that they are made from Defcon, it isn't too bad anymore.

Thanks, Nick! Your advise was PERFECT!

You’re more awesome and great coach. Thank you so much. 🙇🏻‍♂️🤘

Thanks for your detail as always. I ordered some 30 degree ones, too. Trying to see how symmetrical set up will work before split truck. I did put 95a in rear. Will be testing early morning tomorrow on the new Owen Fox board with Blood Orange 65mm 82a Liam Morgan pro series.
